Introduction"
*
More* commonly* known* as* herpes,* herpes* simplex* virus* (HSV)* is* a* viral* infection*
that*comes*in*several*different*forms.*You*are*probably*familiar*with*the*two*main*
kinds*of*herpes**oral*herpes*and*genital*herpes**but*you*may*be*surprised*to*learn*
just* how* common* this* virus* is.* According* to* the* National* Institutes* for* Health*
(NIH),*approximately*1*in*5*Americans*are*infected*with*genital*herpes*and*nearly*
80%*of*American*adults*have*oral*herpes.*Despite*the*staggering*prevalence*of*this*
virus,*more*than*80%*of*people*infected*with*the*virus*dont*even*know*it.*
The*unfortunate*truth*about*HSV*is*that*it*is*a*lifelong*illness*that*cannot*be*cured,*
according* to* health* specialists.* Officially,* there* are* a* number* of* herpes* treatments*
out*there*that*are*designed*to*minimize*symptoms*and*to*reduce*the*occurrence*of*
outbreaks,*but*they*do*not*offer*a*permanent*solution.*In*fact,*if*you*perform*a*little*
research*on*your*own*you*might*be*disappointed*by*the*number*of*quality*resources*
available.*Though*herpes*is*a*very*common*virus,*it*has*a*large*stigma*attached*to*it*
and*it*is*a*topic*many*people*are*not*comfortable*discussing.*As*a*result,*people*who*
have* been* diagnosed* with* herpes* often* feel* guilty* or* ashamed* and,* rather* than*
taking*steps*to*manage*or*reverse*their*condition,*they*are*focused*on*hiding*it.*
If*you*are*struggling*to*manage*your*own*herpes*or*you*simply*want*to*learn*more*
about* this* virus,* this* eBook* is* the* perfect* place* to* start.* Within* the* pages* of* this*
eBook*you*will*find*a*wealth*of*information*about*the*herpes*simplex*virus*and*its*
prevalence,*so*hopefully*you*will*come*to*understand*that*you*are*not*alone**you*
do*not*need*to*be*ashamed*about*your*condition*and*you*certainly*do*not*need*to*

*
Even* if* you* have* already* been* diagnosed* with* the* herpes* simplex* virus,* there* is*

understanding* of* the* herpes* virus* with* the* ultimate* goal* of* curing* your* condition*
and*erasing*the*herpes*virus*from*your*life*completely.*Before*getting*into*the*details*
of* the* Herpes* Eraser,* take* a* moment* to* learn* some* background* information* about*

Origins"of"the"Herpes"Virus"
*
When*you*hear*the*word*herpes,*what*do*you*think*of?*Do*you*think*of*cold*sores*
and* blisters* around* the* mouth?* Or* do* you* think* of* a* sexually* transmitted* disease*
that*causes*painful*sores*on*the*genitals?*Both*of*these*are*correct*and*they*describe*
the*two*main*types*of*the*herpes*simplex*virus*as*defined*by*medical*personnel.*The*
two*main*types*of*herpes*are*called*Type*1*(HSV/1)*and*Type*2*(HSV/2).*Type*1*is*
the* virus* responsible* for* those* nasty* cold* cores* and* it* is* commonly* called* oral*
herpes,* while* Type* 2* is* responsible* for* genital* infections,* typically* called* genital*
herpes.*
While*there*are*only*two*main*types*of*herpes,*there*are*actually*about*115*different*
variations* of* the* herpes* virus* known* to* affect* both* humans* and* animals.* Herpes*
simplex* virus* has* been* known* to* affect* animals* like* pigs,* turkeys,* and* other*
livestock* as* well* as* wild* animals* including* rats,* reptiles,* and* amphibians.* In* fact,*
herpes* is* one* of* the* most* widely* transmissible* diseases* in* the* world,* generally*
transmitted* through* direct* contact.* Humans* can* spread* the* virus* to* other* humans*
and*animals*to*other*animals,*but*it*generally*does*not*spread*between*humans*and*
animals.* Unfortunately,* it* is* possible* for* the* herpes* virus* to* be* transmitted* to* an*
unborn*baby*through*the*mothers*blood.*
What* many* people* who* are* not* affected* by* HSV* do* not* realize* is* that* there* is* an*
emotional*component*to*the*virus*as*well*as*the*medical*component.*Knowing*that*
you* are* carrying* a* disease* which* can* be* transmitted* to* other* people* can* be*

*
devastating,*especially*if*you*are*concerned*about*passing*it*to*your*partner.*Many*
new* cases* of* herpes* occur* when* an* infected* person* does* not* realize* he* or* she* is*
shedding*the*virus*and*it*is*passed*to*a*sexual*partner.*Most*newly*infected*carriers*
are*completely*unaware*that*they*are*carrying*the*virus*because,*in*the*early*stages,*
herpes*frequently*fails*to*present*with*physical*symptoms.**
HSV"and"Related"Conditions"
*
Though* there* are* two* main* types* of* herpes* known* to* affect* humans,* there* are*
actually* eight* different* viruses* that* present* with* similar* characteristics.* Because*
these* viruses* present* in* such* similar* ways,* it* is* difficult* to* make* an* accurate*
diagnosis*based*on*symptoms*alone.*HSV/1,*or*oral*herpes,*is*typically*transmitted*
through*oral*contact*(like*kissing)*or*skin*to*skin*contact.*This*version*of*the*herpes*
simplex*virus*can*cause*recurrent*instances*of*aseptic*meningitis*and*it*can*also*lead*
to*blindness,*neonatal*herpes,*encephalitis,*and*Bells*palsy*in*rare*cases.*HSV/2,*or*
genital* herpes,* is* the* more* common* of* the* two* main* types* and* it* can* be* passed*
through*oral*contact,*skin*to*skin*contact,*genital*to*genital*contact,*or*from*mother*
to*fetus.**
A* third* type* of* herpes* is* the* Varicella/Zoster* Virus,* called* Herpes* Zoster.* This*
disease*is*responsible*for*chicken*pox*that*may*recur*in*the*form*of*shingles*later*in*
life.*Once*the*initial*rashes*have*healed,*the*virus*becomes*dormant*but*it*never*truly*
disappears.* This* virus* can* be* spread* through* skin* to* skin* contact* or* through*
airborne*droplets.*Complications*related*to*Herpes*Zoster*may*include*encephalitis,*
pneumonia*or,*in*very*severe*cases,*hepatitis.*The*fourth*virus*is*Epstein/Barr*Virus*
(EBV)* which* is* also* known* as* the* kissing* disease.* This* virus* can* be* transmitted*
through* oral* contact* or* airborne* droplets* and* it* has* been* known* to* contribute* to*
complications*like*nasopharyngeal*carcinoma*and*AIDS/related*lymphoma.*
The*fifth*virus*that*presents*with*similar*characteristics*to*HSV*is*cytomegalovirus,*
or* CMV* * this* virus* is* also* sometimes* associated* with* mononucleosis,* or* mono.*
This* virus* can* be* spread* through* airborne* particles,* transplanted* organs,* blood*
products,*and*maternal/fetal*intrauterine*infection.*People*who*have*HIV*or*have*an*
otherwise*compromised*immune*system*are*at*an*increased*risk*for*this*virus.*The*

Chapter"1:"Facing"the"Enemy""Understanding"Your"Herpes"
*
Before* you* can* start* fighting* back* against* herpes* simplex* virus,* you* need* to* learn*
and*understand*as*much*as*you*can*about*it.*As*you*have*already*learned,*the*name*
herpes*is*given*to*a*number*of*different*diseases,*though*there*are*two*main*types*of*
herpes* * oral* and* genital.* In* this* chapter* you* will* be* learning* some* in/depth*
information* about* the* herpes* virus,* including* its* viral* composition,* viral* families,*
and* more.* You* will* also* learn* how* the* herpes* virus* affects* the* human* immune*
system,* as* well* as* the* signs* and* symptoms* with* which* it* typically* manifests.* The*
information* you* learn* in* this* chapter* will* help* you* understand* the* HSV* eraser*
program*which*will*help*you*to*erase*your*herpes*for*good.*
What%is%Herpes%Simplex%Virus%(HSV)?%
*
The* viral* infection* known* as* herpes* belongs* to* a* broad* family* of* deoxyribonucleic*
(DNA)* viruses* called* Herpesviridae.* This* family* of* viruses* causes* disease* in* both*
animals*and*humans*with*all*members*of*the*group*being*known*as*herpesviruses.*
The* name* for* this* family* of* viruses* is* derived* from* a* Greek* word,* herpein,* which*
means* to* creep.* This* name* was* given* in* reference* to* the* way* the* herpes* virus*
causes*latent,*recurring*infections.**
In* terms* of* viral* composition,* all* herpesviruses* exhibit* similar* structure* when*
examined* under* a* microscope.* All* herpesviruses* are* composed* of* large,* double/
stranded* DNA* genomes* that* are* linear* in* nature* and* which* can* encode* up* to* two*
hundred* genes.* These* genomes* are* encapsulated* within* a* cage* made* up* of*
10"
*
*
icosahedral*proteins*called*a*capsid.*The*capsid*itself*is*enveloped*in*another*layer*
of* protein* known* as* the* tegument* which* houses* both* viral* proteins* and* viral*
mRNA,* together* with* a* bi/layer* of* lipid* membrane* called* the* envelope.* The*
scientific*name*given*to*this*entire*structure*particle*is*viron.**
All*herpesviruses*exhibit*nuclear/replicating*tendencies.*This*simply*means*that*the*
viral*DNA*is*transcribed*into*the*mRNA*housed*within*the*nucleus*of*the*infected*
cell.*Infection*occurs*when*a*viral*particle*(viron)*makes*contact*with*a*cell*that*has*
specific* receptor* molecules* on* the* cell* surface.* After* the* viral* envelope* becomes*
bound* to* the* cell* membrane* receptors,* the* viron* then* becomes* internalized* within*
the*cell*where*it*is*dismantled.*This*allows*the*viral*DNA*to*migrate*to*other*parts*of*
the* cell,* including* the* nucleus* where* it* begins* to* replicate* the* viral* DNA* * this* is*
where*transcription*of*the*viral*gene*actually*occurs.**
Types"of"Herpesvirus"
*
As*you*have*already*learned,*there*are*two*main*families*of*herpes*simplex*virus**
they*are*known*as*HSV/1*and*HSV/2.*These*viruses*can*also*be*known*by*the*names*
HHV/1*and*HHV/2*as*an*abbreviation*for*human*herpes*virus*1*and*human*herpes*
virus* 2.* It* is* important* to* make* this* distinction* because* herpes* simplex* virus* can*
infect* animals* as* well* as* humans.* Again,* HHV/1* is* the* causative* agent* for* herpes/
related* cold* sores* while* HHV/2* is* responsible* for* genital* herpes.* Both* of* these*
viruses* are* highly* abundant* and* highly* communicable* * they* can* be* spread* as* a*
result*of*the*virus*reproducing*and*shedding*by*the*infected*body.*Herpes*can*also*
be*transmitted*through*the*exchange*of*bodily*fluids*including*saliva*and*blood.*
There* are* eight* different* types* of* herpes* virus* which* are* known* to* infect* humans*
and* can* be* transmitted* in* various* ways.* These* include* the* following:*
*
1. HSVR1"(HHVR1)**transmitted*by*close*contact*with*an*infected*person*
*
2. HSVR1"(HHVR2)**transmitted*through*close*contact*or*penetrative*sexual*
intercourse*with*an*infected*person*

3. Varicella"Zoster"Virus"(VSV)**transmitted*through*contact*and*airborne*
particles*exhaled*from*an*infected*person*
*
4. EpsteinRBarr"Virus"(EBV)**transmitted*through*saliva*of*an*infected*person*
*
5. Cytomegalovirus"(CMV)**transmitted*through*physical*contact,*sexual*

6. Herpes"Lymphotropic"Virus**transmitted*through*contact*with*an*infected*

*
7. Human"Herpes"Virus"7"(HHVR7)**method*of*transmission*is*not*clearly*

*
8. Kaposis"SarcomaRAssociated"Herpes"Virus"(KSHV)**also*known*as*HHV/8,*
transmitted*through*bodily*fluids*like*blood,*saliva,*and*semen*
Not*only*does*the*herpes*virus*come*in*many*forms,*but*it*is*known*for*producing*
infections* that* last* a* lifetime.* The* main* method* through* which* the* herpes* virus*
accomplishes* this* is* called* immune* evasion* * the* virus* actually* avoids* detection*
by*the*human*immune*system*which*is*what*enables*it*to*survive*for*so*long.*One*
method* of* immune* evasion* that* the* herpes* virus* uses* is* by* encoding* specific*
proteins* that* mimic* a* protein* called* interleukin* 10* which* is* found* naturally* in* the*
human*body.**
Another*method*the*herpes*virus*is*able*to*avoid*detection*is*through*the*downward*
regulation* of* Major* Histocompatibility* Complex* II* (MHC* II)* in* infected* cells.* This*
can*occur*in*several*different*ways*but*it*all*leads*to*the*same*result**MHC*being*
absent*from*the*surface*of*the*infected*cell.*If*the*MHC*cannot*reach*the*cell*surface,*
it*cannot*activate*a*T/cell*response.*T/cells,*or*lymphocytes,*are*the*active*cells*of*the*
immune*system*which*work*to*identify*and*destroy*harmful*pathogens.*If*the*T/cells*
are*not*activated,*the*herpes*virus*will*continue*to*spread*at*will.**

Now* that* you* understand* a* little* bit* more* about* the* different* types* of* herpes* and*
how* they* avoid* detection* by* the* human* immune* system,* you* may* be* curious* to*
learn*more*about*how*these*viruses*actually*affect*the*human*body.*It*may*surprise*

and*general*feelings*of*malaise.*Below*you*will*learn*more*about*the*specific*signs*
and*symptoms*of*both*HSV/1*and*HSV/2.**
HSVR1,"Oral"Herpes"
Herpes* simplex* 1,* or* HSV/1,* is* most* commonly* called* oral* herpes* because* it*
produces* cold* sores* or* blisters* around* the* mouth.* These* sores* are* typically* small,*
fluid/filled*blisters*that*can*actually*be*quite*painful*despite*their*small*size.*Herpes*
cold*cores*tend*to*appear*on*the*mouth,*lips,*cheeks,*throat,*and*chin,*though*they*
can*also*appear*on*the*nose*or*fingers.*Oral*herpes*can*actually*be*caused*by*either*
HSV/1*or*HSV/2,*though*it*is*most*commonly*caused*by*HSV/1.**
Before*the*sores*actually*form,*many*patients*describe*prodromal*symptoms**that*
is,* early* symptoms* which* precede* the* characteristic* signs* of* the* disease.* These*
symptoms* may* include* itching,* tingling,* or* pain* about* a* day* or* two* before* the*
blisters*actually*appear.*Once*the*blisters*form,*they*typically*break*open*after*a*day*
or*two,*leaking*a*clear*infectious*fluid,*then*they*crust*over*and*remain*that*way*for*
up*to*24*days.**
Oral*herpes*can*be*transmitted*through*close*contact*with*an*infected*person,*either*
skin/to/skin* or* through* sexual* intercourse.* An* infected* person* can* pass* the* virus*
even*when*no*blisters*are*present**the*skin*can*actually*shed*the*virus*without*any*
symptoms* being* present.* The* virus* typically* enters* the* body* through* skin* breaks*
and*it*is*possible*for*an*infected*person*to*spread*the*infection*to*other*parts*of*his*or*
her*own*body*simply*by*touching*a*sore*and*then*touching*another*part*of*the*body.*

HSVR2,"Genital"Herpes"
Herpes*simplex*2,*or*HSV/2,*is*most*commonly*called*genital*herpes*because*it*can*
cause*sores*to*form*on*the*genitals*and*it*is*primarily*spread*through*sexual*contact.*
Though* HSV/2* is* most* commonly* responsible* for* genital* herpes,* it* is* possible* to*
spread*HSV/1*to*the*genital*area*through*mouth/to/genital*contact*or*through*sexual*
contact* with* a* person* who* has* an* oral* herpes* infection.* Similar* to* HSV/1,* genital*
herpes* can* be* transmitted* even* when* no* sores* are* present* * the* skin* could* be*
shedding*the*virus*at*any*time,*with*or*without*symptoms.**
During* the* first* week* or* two* after* contracting* the* virus,* most* patients* show* no*
symptoms.*By*the*second*week,*however,*the*first*outbreak*typically*presents*with*
painful*sores*and*flu/like*symptoms.*Blisters*usually*appear*on*the*genitals*or*near*
the* rectum* and* then* they* break* open* the* leak* infectious* fluid* and* then* crust* over,*
though*it*may*take*weeks*for*the*sore*to*actually*go*away.*In*some*cases,*recurrent*
outbreaks*begin*with*mild*symptoms*like*tingling*or*itching*in*the*genital*region**
these*are*prodromal*symptoms*like*those*mentioned*above*for*HSV/1.**
The*formation*and*location*of*herpes*lesions*is*a*little*bit*different*for*males*versus*
females.*For*men,*blisters*typically*form*on*the*shaft*of*the*penis*while,*in*females,*
they*often*form*on*the*vagina,*vulva,*and*cervix.*Both*men*and*women*can*develop*
lesions* around* the* anus* and* they* can* affect* the* urethra* as* well.* Genital* herpes* in*
women* is* usually* accompanied* by* vaginal* discharge* which* can* transmit* the* virus*
during*sexual*contact*with*an*uninfected*person.**
Perhaps*the*most*troubling*thing*about*the*herpes*virus*is*that*it*is*highly*infectious*
but*it*can*be*spread*even*when*no*symptoms*are*present.*Some*people*with*herpes*

History%and%Statistics%of%the%Virus%
*
The*herpes*virus*has*been*known*by*man*for*at*least*2,000*years*so*it*is*by*no*means*
a*new*affliction.*In*fact,*Roman*Emperor*Tiberius*was*said*to*have*banned*kissing*in*
his*kingdom*for*a*period*of*time*because*so*many*of*his*followers*were*afflicted*by*
cold* sores.* Even* Shakespeare* made* reference* to* blisters* oer* ladies* lips* in* his*
famous*Romeo1and1Juliet.*Herpes*has*existed*for*many*hundreds*of*years,*though*it*
has*only*been*the*subject*of*deep*scientific*study*since*the*early*1900s*when*it*was*
discovered*to*be*a*virus.*Antiviral*therapy*for*the*herpes*virus*didnt*begin*until*the*
early*1960s.**
Not*only*has*herpes*existed*for*thousands*of*years,*but*recent*statistics*suggest*that*
it* is* still* highly* prevalent* * it* may* be* more* common* than* you* could* have* ever*
imagined.*The*latest*statistical*data*released*in*March*2010*by*the*Center*for*Disease*
Control*and*Prevention*(CDC)*suggests*that*approximately*5*million*Americans*are*
infected*with*the*herpes*virus*and*that*there*are*nearly*half*a*million*new*cases*of*
herpes* each* year.* Even* more* shocking,* it* is* estimated* that* roughly* 90%* of* the*
American*population*is*affected*by*oral*herpes*and*20%*have*genital*herpes.*Genital*
herpes*is*the*most*predominant*sexually/transmitted*virus*in*the*United*States.**
Though*a*shocking*percentage*of*the*American*population*is*affected*by*herpes,*it*is*
estimated*that*only*about*25%*of*infected*people*are*in*the*active*stage*of*the*virus*
at*any*given*time.*A*large*percentage*of*people*infected*with*the*herpes*virus*dont*
even* know* it* yet.* Unfortunately,* this* means* that* they* are* prone* to* spreading* the*
virus* to* other* unsuspecting* individuals.* In* fact,* some* statistics* suggest* that* two*
people*are*infected*with*the*herpes*virus*every*minute*of*every*day.*With*the*speed*
at*which*this*virus*is*being*transmitted,*some*consider*it*to*be*a*modern*epidemic.*
Male"vs."Female"Statistics"
*
You*may*be*surprised*to*learn*that*not*only*is*herpes*more*common*in*women,*but*
the* virus* can* lead* to* some* very* dangerous* (even* deadly)* complications* in* women.*
Herpes* infections* affect* approximately* 1* out* of* 4* women* in* the* United* States* and*
about*1*in*5*men.*This*may*be*due*to*the*fact*that*male/to/female*transmission*of*the*

*
*
disease* is* more* effective* than* female/to/male* transmission.* It* is* possible* for* a*
woman* to* transmit* herpes* to* the* fetus* during* pregnancy,* though* it* is* not* very*
common.*The*biggest*risk*occurs*when*a*women*becomes*infected*with*herpes*for*
the*first*time*during*pregnancy.*In*rare*cases,*herpes*sores*present*during*delivery*
can*lead*to*a*life/threatening*infection*for*the*newborn**if*sores*are*present*prior*to*
delivery,*the*doctor*may*recommend*a*cesarean*section*to*protect*the*baby.*
AgeRRelated"Statistics"
*
According* to* recent* statistics,* approximately* 1* out* of* 5* American* adolescents* and*
adults* is* affected* by* genital* herpes.* Furthermore,* about* two/thirds* of* people* who*
have*any*kind*of*sexually*transmitted*disease*in*the*U.S.*are*under*the*age*of*25.*As*

it* is* estimated* that* 40%* of* all* American* adult* men* and* women* could* be* infected*
with*genital*herpes*by*the*year*2025.**
Race"and"Ethnicity"Statistics"
*
The* highest* herpes* infection* rates* have* been* reported* in* African/American*
communities.*Recent*statistical*data*suggests*that*the*prevalence*of*HSV*in*African/
Americans*is*much*greater*than*that*in*white*non/Hispanic*and*Mexican/American*
ethnicities.* To* give* you* a* better* idea* on* what* this* means,* consider* the* face* that*
approximately*45.9%*of*African/American*adults*are*infected*with*the*herpes*virus*
versus* 17.6%* of* white* Caucasians.* The* largest* increase* in* new* cases* of* genital*

How"Will"My"Life"Change"After"Herpes?"
*

necessitate*some*changes*to*your*lifestyle.*Herpes*is*one*of*the*most*communicable*
diseases* out* there,* so* you* need* to* take* certain* precautions* to* avoid* passing* the*
disease* on* to* others.* If* you* havent* been* officially* diagnosed* with* herpes* yet,* that*
should* be* your* first* step.* When* you* visit* your* doctor,* you* should* expect* him* to*
perform* a* thorough* exam* including* some* tests* which* may* include* the* following:*
*
PCR"Blood"Test**This*test*will*tell*your*doctor*whether*or*not*you*have*the*
herpes*virus,*even*if*you*are*not*currently*displaying*symptoms.*A*PCR*
blood*test*actually*searches*for*the*DNA*of*the*virus*so*it*is*highly*accurate.*
*
Cell"Culture**If*you*currently*have*oral*or*genital*sores,*your*doctor*will*
take*a*cell*culture*from*the*sore*and*analyze*it*under*a*microscope*to*check*
for*the*herpes*simplex*virus.*
*
Antibody"Test**This*test*is*often*used*as*a*backup*to*test*for*antibodies*in*
the*blood*which*could*identify*the*presence*of*the*herpes*virus.*When*the*

*
*
It* is* possible* for* either* the* PCR* blood* test* or* the* cell* culture* to* produce* false*
negative* results.* This* can* happen* if* you* get* tested* when* your* sores* are* already* in*
the* process* of* healing* or* if* you* have* only* recently* been* infected.* It* can* take* a* few*
weeks* for* your* immune* system* to* react* and* to* produce* the* antibodies* that* will*
indicate* the* presence* of* the* herpes* simplex* virus.* You* may* then* need* to* have*
additional*tests*to*determine*which*type*of*HSV*you*have.**
In*addition*to*telling*you*that*you*do*in*fact*have*the*herpes*virus,*diagnostic*tests*
can*help*you*determine*when*and*how*you*contracted*the*disease.*You*may*not*be*
able* to* pin* down* an* exact* date,* but* your* doctor* should* be* able* to* give* you* some*
rough*estimations*if*the*test*results*are*positive.*When*you*see*your*doctor,*be*sure*
to* tell* him* about* all* of* your* symptoms* * even* if* they* do* not* seem* relevant.*
Remember,* herpes* can* sometimes* present* with* flu/like* symptoms* in* the* early*
stages,*so*think*about*whether*youve*experienced*things*like*a*decreased*appetite,*
achy*or*sore*muscles,*tender*lymph*nodes,*and*fever.**
Once*you*have*your*diagnosis,*you*might*feel*as*though*the*world*has*stopped.*It*is*
perfectly*natural*to*feel*a*little*bit*shocked*at*first,*even*scared.*Take*as*much*time*as*
you* need* to* come* to* terms* with* your* diagnosis* and* then* start* taking* responsible*
steps* to* prevent* spreading* it.* This* may* mean* having* a* talk* with* your* romantic*
partner*and*it*may*even*mean*talking*to*people*youve*had*close*contact*with*since*
contracting*the*disease.*It*will*be*hard,*but*it*is*necessary.** *

Is%It%My%Fault%I%Have%Herpes?%
*
This*is*a*question*that*countless*HSV/positive*individuals*ask*themselves.*While*it*is*
true* that* certain* behaviors* can* increase* your* risk* for* contracting* the* disease,* it* is*
hard*to*come*to*term*with*the*idea*that*it*might*be*your*fault*that*you*have*herpes.*
Because*herpes*is*a*sexually*transmitted*infection*(STI),*your*risk*for*contracting*it*
increases*with*the*number*of*sexual*partners*you*have.*People*who*only*have*one*
lifetime*sexual*partner*have*the*lowest*risk*of*contracting*the*disease,*though*it*can*
still*be*spread*through*non/sexual*contact.**
It* is* important* to* remember* that* the* herpes* virus* can* be* transmitted* through* a*
number*of*different*methods.*You*can*contract*oral*herpes*simply*by*sharing*a*glass*
of* water* with* an* infected* person* who* has* active* sores* or* is* currently* shedding* the*
virus.*For*oral*contact,*even*a*minimal*amount*of*saliva*can*be*enough*to*transmit*
the*disease.*Unlike*some*STIs,*the*host*does*not*have*to*have*open*wounds*in*order*
to*transmit*the*disease*to*an*uninfected*partner.*If*the*person*is*unaware*that*they*
have*herpes,*or*if*they*are*aware*but*do*not*inform*you*of*the*risk,*it*cannot*be*your*
fault*if*you*contract*it.*
Even* if* it* isnt* technically* your* fault* that* youve* contracted* the* herpes* virus,* you*
need* to* ask* yourself* some* hard* questions* regarding* whether* or* not* it* could* have*
been*prevented.*One*of*the*most*common*ways*that*both*oral*and*genital*herpes*is*
transmitted*is*through*unprotected*sex.*The*act*of*wearing*a*condom*during*sexual*
activity* can* greatly* reduce* your* risk* for* contracting* or* transmitting* an* STI.* Bodily*
fluids*are*the*best*carriers*for*viruses*like*HSV,*so*any*contact*with*semen*or*vaginal*
fluid*during*sex*could*lead*to*transmission*of*the*disease.**
To*summarize,*some*of*the*factors*which*can*increase*your*risk*for*contracting*the*

Having*multiple*sexual*partners*
Unprotected*sexual*activity*(oral,*vaginal,*anal,*penetrative,*etc.)*

Risk"Factors"for"Outbreaks"
*
Throughout* the* course* of* your* life* you* will* go* through* periods* of* active* viral*
activity* and* periods* of* remission.* Periods* during* which* your* herpes* flare/ups* are*
referred*to*as*outbreaks*and*there*are*certain*factors*which*can*increase*your*risk*
for*an*outbreak.*Some*risk*factors*that*can*lead*to*outbreaks*may*include:*
Stress* * Many* studies* have* shown* a* link* between* periods* of* chronic* stress* and*
recurrent*herpes*outbreaks,*particularly*in*women.*Even*short/term*stressors*like*an*
acute*injury,*flying*in*an*airplane,*a*big*presentation*at*work*can*lead*to*an*outbreak*
just*as*easily*as*long/term*stressors*like*financial*problems,*stress*in*a*relationship,*
problems*at*work,*etc.**
Menstruation* * A* study* conducted* by* the* National* Institute* of* Dental* and*
Craniofacial* Research* discovered* that* oral* herpes* outbreaks* can* be* triggered* by*
menstruation*in*women.*The*hormonal*changes*that*occur*during*menstruation*may*
be*to*blame*for*the*increased*risk*for*outbreak*because*it*can*be*a*stressful*time*on*
both*the*mind*and*body.*There*are*also*some*studies*which*suggest*that*tampon*use*
could* aggravate* genital* herpes* outbreaks,* as* can* the* wearing* of* tight* underwear*
with*sanitary*pads.*To*help*reduce*the*risk*for*a*herpes*outbreak*during*menstrual*
periods,*try*using*non/chlorinated*feminine*hygiene*products.**
Sunlight/Sunburn* * Excessive* exposure* to* sunlight* and* sunburn* can* increase* the*
risk*for*an*HSV/1*outbreak,*especially*when*combined*with*emotional*stress.*Ultra/
violet*rays*can*actually*block*the*activity*of*immune*cells*in*the*skin*which*can*lead*
to* herpes* outbreaks.* Sunburn* is* a* form* of* skin* irritation* which* can* also* lead* to*
outbreaks.*
Dehydration* * When* your* body* is* dehydrated* it* results* in* excess* strain* and* the*
herpes*virus*could*take*advantage*of*such*a*weakness*to*produce*an*outbreak.*This*

*
*
is*particularly*common*when*your*lips*become*cracked*and*dry*due*to*dehydration.*
Dehydration/related*outbreaks*are*particularly*common*during*the*winter*months.*
Strenuous"Exercise**High/intensity*exercise*is*a*form*of*stress*for*the*body*and*it*
can* impact* your* immune* activity,* making* way* for* a* herpes* outbreak.* Exercise* can*
also* lead* to* excessive* perspiration* and* chafing* which* can* contribute* to* the*
development* of* herpes* sores* and* lesions.* Mild* forms* of* exercise* like* walking* or*
jogging*are*the*least*likely*to*trigger*an*outbreak.*
Nutrition**Your*dietary*habits*can*play*an*important*role*in*increasing*or*reducing*
your* risk* for* a* herpes* outbreak.* Some* foods* that* are* most* likely* to* trigger* an*
outbreak* include* coffee,* alcohol,* nuts,* chocolate,* dairy* products,* corn,* soda,* and*
processed*foods.*Lysine*is*a*dietary*compound*that*can*help*to*prevent*an*outbreak*
but* foods* containing* l/arginine* (like* chocolate* and* coffee)* can* actually* suppress*
lysine.**

Chapter"2:"Herpes"Myths"and"Misconceptions"
*
Hopefully* by* now* your* interest* has* been* piqued.* After* all,* youve* probably* been*
told* for* years,* even* decades* that* there* is* no* hope* for* a* cure* with* herpes.* Before*
getting*into*the*details*about*the*HSV*Eraser,*however,*it*is*important*to*take*a*look*
at* the* things* youve* been* told.* Only* once* you* have* an* understanding* of* what* is*
wrong*can*you*truly*learn*what*is*right.*So*think*back*to*everything*youve*learned*
about* herpes* from* your* doctor* and* from* your* own* experience* with* the* disease.*
Think*back*to*your*original*diagnosis*and*how*it*went.*
What%Recommendations%Did%Your%Doctor%Make?%
*
The* Centers* for* Disease* Control* and* Prevention* (CDC)* have* set* guidelines* for* the*
diagnosis*of*herpes.*In*order*to*make*an*accurate*diagnosis,*you*must*be*completely*
honest*with*your*doctor*and*answer*all*of*his*questions*as*fully*as*you*are*able.*The*
more*honest*you*are,*the*better*able*your*doctor*will*be*to*determine*which*type*of*
herpes*you*have.*There*are*clear*distinctions*between*Type*1*and*Type*2*which*will*
be*revealed*through*testing*and*analysis*of*your*symptoms.**
Herpes* Type* 1* is* usually* transmitted* through* oral* contact* or* through* mouth/to/
genital*contact*(oral*sex).*Your*doctor*may*tell*you*that*you*dont*necessarily*need*to*
be* worried* about* infidelity,* because* the* infection* can* be* transmitted* within* a*

*
*
monogamous* relationship.* This* is* a* common* concern* for* people* diagnosed* with*
herpes,* especially* if* the* person* who* gave* it* to* them* was* not* displaying* any*
symptoms.*In*the*event*that*you*are*diagnosed*with*herpes*but*your*partner*has*not*
been,* you* will* need* to* inform* him* or* her* for* his* own* safety* and* recommend* that*
they*be*tested*as*well.**
For* many* people* diagnosed* with* herpes,* it* can* be* a* scary* time.* Your* doctor*
probably* gave* you* some* encouragement* about* living* your* life* as* normally* as*
possible* despite* the* infection.* He* probably* also* told* you* about* some* lifestyle*
changes*to*make*or*avoid*in*order*to*minimize*outbreaks.*Of*course,*there*are*some*
factors* you* simply* cannot* control* which* could* trigger* an* outbreak* * things* like*
menstruation* in* women* or* stress.* Your* doctor* probably* gave* you* some* tips* or*
resources* to* help* you* manage* these* situations* to* avoid* an* outbreak.* You* may* also*
need* to* start* taking* precautions* in* terms* of* sharing* food,* utensils,* and* the* like* to*
avoid*spreading*the*disease.*
Herpes* Type* 2* is* not* transmitted* quite* so* easily* as* Type* 1* through* bodily* contact.*
Your* doctor* probably* gave* you* a* list* of* things* to* avoid* in* terms* of* preventing*
transmission* of* the* disease.* Things* like* hugging* and* cuddling* are* generally* safe,*
because*transmission*of*Type*2*herpes*generally*occurs*through*penetrative*sexual*
intercourse* and/or* the* exchange* of* bodily* fluids.* When* having* an* outbreak,* your*
doctor* probably* advised* you* to* avoid* sexual* contact* to* minimize* the* risk* of*
transmitting*the*disease.*
Medical"Treatments"for"Herpes"
*
When* you* received* your* herpes* diagnosis,* your* doctor* probably* told* you* that* the*
disease* cannot* be* cured* but* it* can* sometimes* be* managed* with* medications.* Most*
medications*used*to*treat*herpes*are*designed*to*relieve*symptoms*of*outbreaks*and*
to*shorten*the*course*of*the*outbreak.*Your*doctor*probably*prescribed*you*with*one*
or* more* drugs* based* on* a* number* of* factors* including* your* age,* allergies,* and* the*
type* of* herpes* you* have.* Some* medications* are* more* effective* for* Type* 1* than* for*
Type*2*and*some*medications*are*only*recommended*for*women*who*are*pregnant.*
In* most* cases,* doctors* prescribe* some* kind* of* antiviral* medication* to* treat* the*
preliminary*outbreak*and*to*reduce*symptoms*and*heal*sores.**

*
Below*you*will*find*an*overview*of*the*various*topical*and*medical*treatments*
commonly*prescribed*for*herpes:*
*
Topical"Creams**These*may*be*prescription*or*over/the/counter*remedies*
used*to*control*the*herpes*infection.*They*may*help*to*relieve*pain*for*sores*
and*lesions,*but*they*generally*do*not*help*with*the*actual*outbreak.*
*
Valacyclovir"(Valtrex)**This*antiviral*medication*helps*to*suppress*the*virus,*
limiting*its*spread.*This*medication*may*also*help*to*lessen*the*severity*of*
symptoms*during*an*outbreak*and*it*is*particularly*effective*for*women.*This*
drug*is*only*recommended*for*patients*over*12*years*of*age.*
*
Acyclovir"(Zovirax)**This*medication*works*by*reducing*the*rate*of*
replication*for*the*herpes*virus,*helping*to*slow*its*spread.*This*drug*doesnt*
completely*kill*the*virus*but*it*can*help*to*reduce*symptoms*when*taken*over*
a*period*of*five*days.*
*
Famiciclovir"(Famvir)**This*antiviral*medication*is*usually*prescribed*for*
genital*herpes*and*it*is*particularly*beneficial*for*patients*with*compromised*
immune*systems.*A*dosage*of*1000mg*can*be*taken*twice*a*day*for*genital*
herpes*or*1500mg*can*be*taken*once*a*day*for*oral*herpes.*
*
IV"Medications**In*very*severe*cases,*intravenous*medication*may*be*
administered*to*reduce*symptoms*and*to*slow*the*spread*of*the*virus.**
*
No*matter*which*type*of*medication*your*doctor*prescribed,*it*is*important*that*you*
stick*to*your*treatment*plan*without*making*any*unapproved*changed.*Some*herpes*
medications* can* interact* with* other* medications,* so* dont* start* or* stop* taking*
anything* without* asking* your* doctor.* If* you* start* to* experience* side* effects,* talk* to*
your*doctor*about*changing*your*dosage*or*switching*to*another*medication*to*see*if*
that* helps.* Do* not* change* the* dosage* yourself* because* you* could* end* up* with* an*
overdose.**
Antiviral*medications*are*the*most*common*forms*of*medical*treatment*for*herpes,*
and* there* are* different* types* to* choose* from.* In* some* cases,* antiviral* therapies* can*

*
*
also* be* combined* with* non/prescriptive* treatments* for* added* benefits.* The* type* of*
antiviral* therapy* your* doctor* prescribes* will* vary* depending* on* your* age,* type* of*
infection,*and*the*severity*of*your*symptoms.**
The*three*main*types*of*antiviral*therapy*are*listed*below:*
*
Initial"Treatment"Therapy**This*type*of*therapy*is*usually*administered*to*
relieve*symptoms,*particularly*sores,*after*the*initial*diagnosis*has*been*
made.*This*therapy*usually*lasts*for*a*fairly*limited*period*of*time,*about*7*to*
10*days.*In*addition*to*treating*initial*symptoms,*this*therapy*can*help*to*
prevent*symptoms*from*worsening*and*they*may*help*the*sores*to*heal*more*
quickly.*
*
Intermittent"Treatment"Therapy**This*type*of*antiviral*drug*therapy*is*
designed*to*prevent*your*immune*system*from*becoming*compromised*any*
further*during*a*flare/up.*These*medications*are*usually*only*taken*for*2*to*5*
days*when*you*see*the*signs*of*an*outbreak*coming*on.*This*type*of*therapy*
helps*to*reduce*the*severity*and*length*of*the*outbreak*and*it*is*generally*
effective*for*people*who*have*mild*recurrent*infections,*about*6*outbreaks*or*
fewer*each*year.**
*
Suppressive"Treatment"Therapy**This*type*of*therapy*is*administered*in*the*
case*of*severe*outbreaks*or*frequent*recurrences.*This*antiviral*therapy*can*
help*minimize*outbreaks*by*as*much*as*80%*/*when*taken*daily,*it*may*even*
prevent*outbreaks*completely.*
If*you*and*your*doctor*agreed*that*your*condition*is*not*being*managed*effectively*
with* antiviral* medications* alone,* he* may* have* suggested* some* non/prescriptive*
therapies*as*well*to*help*manage*your*outbreaks.**
Some*examples*of*non/prescriptive*therapy*include:*
*
Over/the/counter*pain*relievers*like*ibuprofen*and*acetaminophen*may*help*
to*relieve*pain*for*mild*recurrent*outbreaks**they*may*also*lessen*fever.*
*
31"
*
*
Dietary*supplements*like*vitamin*C,*vitamin*E,*zinc,*L/lysine,*and*probiotics*
may*help*to*boost*the*immune*system*and*control*the*infection.*
*
Topical*creams*like*Dynamiclear*and*Abreva*can*sometimes*help*to*speed*
healing*during*an*outbreak.*When*applied*directly*to*sores,*the*creams*can*
help*dry*them*out*and*relieve*both*pain*and*itching.**
*
Getting*enough*sleep*and*controlling*stress*levels*can*help*to*reduce*the*
recurrence*of*outbreaks*and*lessen*the*severity*of*symptoms.**
*
Drinking*enough*water*to*stay*hydrated*can*reduce*the*risk*for*outbreaks*and*
keep*the*immune*system*healthy.*
*
Avoiding*excessive*exposure*to*UV*rays*may*help*to*reduce*the*severity*or*
frequency*of*herpes*outbreaks*in*infected*individuals.*
*
Each*case*of*herpes*is*unique**there*is*no*set*number*of*outbreaks*that*is*considered*
normal*per*year.*Because*each*case*is*different,*your*doctor*may*prescribe*you*a*
different* treatment* than* someone* else* with* herpes* is* taking.* The* main* goal* of*
modern* herpes* treatments* is* to* reduce* the* frequency* and* severity* of* outbreaks* in*
general* and,* during* outbreaks,* to* speed* healing* and* to* prevent* the* spread* of* the*
infection.* With* daily* suppressive* antiviral* therapy* you* can* reduce* the* risk* of*
transmitting* the* infection* to* your* sexual* partner* by* reducing* the* shedding* of* the*

*
When*you*are*diagnosed*with*herpes,*your*doctor*will*be*focused*in*managing*your*
condition* and* reducing* the* frequency* of* outbreaks.* He* will* create* a* detailed*
treatment* plan* and* you* will* be* advised* to* stick* to* it.* For* some* people,* having* a*

Unfortunately,* there* are* many* things* that* doctors* DONT* tell* to* their* herpes*
patients.* Many* of* those* antiviral* drugs* that* are* designed* to* lessen* your* symptoms*
could*actually*produce*some*very*nasty*side*effects.*And*all*of*the*drugs*you*have*
to* take* to* keep* your* herpes* under* control* can* be* very* expensive* * not* just*

Antiviral"Drugs"Come"with"Side"Effects!"
*
While* antiviral* medications* might* help* to* reduce* the* severity* of* your* herpes*
outbreaks* or* even* make* them* less* frequent,* they* often* come* with* some* very* nasty*
side*effects.*Your*risk*for*side*effects*increases*if*you*dont*give*your*doctor*all*of*the*
relevant* information* he* needs* about* your* medical* history* to* make* an* accurate*
diagnosis* and* to* prescribe* the* right* treatment.* Some* concurrent* conditions* that*
could* increase* your* risk* for* side* effects* may* include* a* weakened* immune* system*
(especially*due*to*HIV/AIDS),*liver*disease,*lactose*intolerance,*and*pregnancy.**
Even*if*your*doctor*is*careful,*however,*you*cant*always*predict*when*side*effects*
might*occur.**
Below*you*will*find*an*overview*of*some*of*the*side*effects*that*are*possible*with*
popular*antiviral*herpes*medications:**
*
33"
*
*
Famvir"Side"Effects**The*most*common*side*effects*of*this*medication*are*
stomach*pain,*cramps,*nausea,*heavy*bleeding,*diarrhea,*and*headaches.*Less*
common*side*effects*may*include*rash,*redness*of*the*skin,*gas,*vomiting,*
fatigue,*skin*irritation,*mood*swings,*behavioral*changes,*mental*fog,*
hallucinations,*anxiety,*and*restlessness.**
*
Valacyclovir"Side"Effects**The*most*common*side*effects*of*this*medication*
are*depression,*loss*of*interest,*loss*of*appetite,*difficulty*concentrating,*
insomnia,*irritability,*cramps,*ear*infections,*muscle*aches,*joint*pain*and*
stiffness,*sneezing,*sore*throat,*runny*nose.*Less*common*side*effects*may*
include*constipation,*diarrhea,*fever,*headaches,*yellow*skin,*shortness*of*
breath,*chest*pain,*chills,*and*decreased*urine*output.*
*
Acyclovir"Side"Effects**The*most*common*side*effects*of*this*medication*are*
pain*at*the*injection*site,*swelling,*stomach*pain,*increased*thirst,*fatigue,*
weakness,*loss*of*appetite,*and*decreased*urine*output.*Less*common*side*
effects*may*include*trembling,*hallucinations,*hives,*unusual*bleeding*or*
bruising,*mental*confusion,*skin*irritations,*convulsions,*chills,*fever,*and*sore*
throat.**
*
In* many* cases,* herpes* patients* experience* mild* side* effects* when* they* first* start*
taking* a* new* medication* * the* side* effects* may* go* away* on* their* own* as* the* body*
gets* used* to* the* drugs.* If* the* side* effects* persist,* your* doctor* may* recommend*
lowering* the* dosage* or* switching* to* a* new* medication.* The* more* medications* you*
are*on,*the*more*likely*you*are*to*experience*side*effects*and*drug*interactions.**
In* addition* to* the* minor* side* effects* listed* above,* there* are* a* few* very* serious* side*
effects* which* have* been* reported* in* conjunction* with* antiviral* herpes* medications.*
In*some*cases,*for*example,*acyclovir*ends*up*crystallizing*in*the*renal*tubes*which*
has* led* to* several* instances* of* renal* failure.* Fatalities* have* also* been* reported* in*
patients* undergoing* HIV/AIDS* treatment* or* organ* transplant* in* concurrence* with*
antiviral*herpes*treatments.*In*some*cases,*patients*have*also*experienced*behavioral*
changes* such* as* psychosis,* delirium,* and* mania.* Prolonged* use* of* antiviral*
medications* may* increase* the* risk* for* cardiovascular* problems* including*
hypotension.**

If%there%are%such%serious%risks%involved,%why%do%doctors%keep%prescribing%
them?%
This* is* a* question* many* people* ask* once* they* start* to* experience* side* effects* with*
their* antiviral* herpes* medications.* The* simple* truth* is* that* everyone* responds*
differently* to* medications* and,* for* some* people,* they* work* well* without* any* side*
effects* at* all.* Even* the* simplest* medications* can* cause* dangerous* side* effects.* For*
example,*prolonged*Aspirin*use*can*lead*to*liver*damage.**
It* is* also* important* to* realize* that* antiviral* herpes* medications* are* not* designed* to*
destroy* the* virus* * they* are* simply* prescribed* to* manage* your* symptoms.* These*
drugs* are* supposed* to* help* keep* the* virus* from* spreading* and* you* wont* really*
know*how*well*they*work*until*you*try*them.**
Herpes"Treatments"are"Expensive!"
*
Whether*or*not*you*have*health*insurance,*prescription*medications*for*herpes*can*
be*expensive!*Many*herpes*patients*end*up*spending*hundreds,*even*thousands*of*
dollars*each*year*on*their*medications.*Some*herpes*medications*are*only*available*
in*expensive*brand/name*formulas,*while*some*have*generic*options.*Unfortunately,*
some* people* cannot* tolerate* generic* medications* or* they* do* not* receive* the* same*
benefits*as*they*do*from*brand/name*drugs.*As*a*result,*they*are*forced*to*pay*more*
for*their*drugs*just*to*get*the*relief*they*need.**
The*costs*for*your*antiviral*medications*will*depend*on*the*type*of*therapy*you*are*
prescribed.* For* initial* or* intermittent* therapies* you* may* only* have* to* pay* for* a*
weeks* worth* of* drugs.* A* 10/day* course* of* Acyclovir,* for* example,* could* cost* you*
around* $130.* For* a* years* worth* of* suppressive* therapy* with* a* drug* like*
Valacyclovir,* however,* you* are* looking* at* a* cost* of* $1,100* or* more.* If* you* have* to*
take*multiple*prescriptions,*your*costs*can*add*up*very*quickly.**
Not*only*do*herpes*drugs*take*a*financial*toll,*but*they*can*also*take*a*physical*and*

Though*specific*side*effects*may*vary*from*one*medication*to*another,*you*could*

*
Gastrointestinal"Problems**Antiviral*herpes*medications*can*lead*to*a*
number*of*gastrointestinal*problems*and*they*can*contribute*to*irritable*
bowel*syndrome*(IBS).*This*happens*because*the*medication*irritates*the*
lining*of*the*intestines,*causing*inflammation*which*can*lead*to*side*effects*
like*bloating,*constipation,*nausea,*abdominal*pain,*and*upset*stomach.**
*
Adverse"Skin"Reactions**Many*antiviral*medications*are*designed*to*stop*
the*skin*from*shedding*the*virus,*but*they*can*lead*to*some*nasty*skin*
reactions.*Common*skin*problems*resulting*from*herpes*medications*include*

*
The*herpes*simplex*virus*is*what*some*might*call*a*stealth*infection**it*can*evade*
the*immune*system*and*go*undetected*by*medical*tests*for*surprisingly*long*periods*
of* time.* If* you* think* back* to* the* beginning* of* this* eBook,* youll* remember* that* as*

will*need*to*follow*a*strict*dietary*protocol*for*10*days.**
For*the*next*week*and*a*half,*make*sure*to*include*the*following*foods*in*your*diet:*
*
1. Milk"and"Dairy"Products**These*foods*are*a*natural*source*of*lysine,*a*key*
amino* acid* which* can* strengthen* your* immune* system* to* heal* sores* and* to*
prevent* further* damage* from* the* herpes* virus.* Drink% 2% glasses% of% milk% per%
day% to% get% your% daily% dose% of% lysine% % one% after% breakfast% and% one% in% the%
evening,% before% bed.%%
*
2. High" Vitamin" C" Foods* * Foods* that* are* rich* in* vitamin* C* will* also* help* to*
boost*your*immune*system,*helping*it*to*identify*and*fight*the*herpes*virus.*
Aim% for% 2% servings% of% citrus% fruits% per% day% (like% oranges)% and% 2% servings% of%
vitamin% CVrich% vegetables% (like% broccoli,% tomatoes,% bell% peppers,% and% green%
peas).% Have% one% serving% of% each% at% lunch% and% one% at% dinner.*
*
3. Carbohydrates* * Healthy* carbohydrates* will* not* only* provide* your* body*
with* dietary* fiber,* but* they* will* also* help* to* support* your* immune* system.*
Have%one%meal%of%unrefined%whole%grain%carbohydrates%at%least%once%a%day%%
aim% for% 7% ounces% of% whole% grain% carbohydrates% around% lunch% time,% between%

12:30% and% 2:00% pm.%%
*
4. Protein**Meat*and*poultry*products*are*full*of*healthy*protein*and*natural*
sources*of*lysine*as*well.*Choose%lean%cuts%of%meat,%aiming%for%about%3%ounces%

*
If*you*make*an*effort*to*follow*these*guidelines*for*ten*days*you*will*find*that*your*
immune*system*is*functioning*at*full*capacity.**
What"to"Eat""
*
One* of* the* simplest* ways* to* boost* the* immune* system* is* through* simple* dietary*
changes.*Step*I*of*the*HSV*Eraser*program*is*to*boost*the*immune*system*by*eating*
foods*that*are*rich*in*lysine*and*vitamin*C.*Balancing*your*diet*with*carbohydrates,*
lean*proteins,*and*healthy*fats*is*also*important.*
Lysine* is* a* type* of* amino* acid* that* is* found* in* a* variety* of* natural* food* sources,*
including* dairy* products.* There* are* numerous* studies* which* show* the* benefits* of*
lysine* in* boosting* the* immune* system.* Not* only* is* lysine* a* very* effective* immune*
booster,* but* it* works* very* quickly* as* well.* Studies* related* to* herpes* patients* in*
particular* have* shown* that* lysine* supplementation* is* effective* in* reducing* the*
recurrence*of*outbreaks*and*in*shortening*the*length*of*those*outbreaks*for*both*oral*
herpes*and*genital*herpes.*
Some*natural*food*sources*for*lysine*include*the*following:**
42"
*
*
Red* meat* (beef,* 5* ounces* per* Legumes* * (white* beans,* 2* cups*
day*cooked)* per* day,* cooked,* yellow* beans,*
Poultry* (chicken,* 5* ounces* per* 2* cups* per* day,* cooked,* lentils,*
day,*cooked)* 1*and**cups*per*day,*cooked)*
Cheese*(Swiss/Gruyere*or*Edam* Soy* products* (soy,* 1* cup* per*
cheese,*4*ounces*per*day)* day,* roasted,* dried* frozen* tofu,*
Salty* fish* (Atlantic* cod,* 3* 2* cups* per* day,* soy* chips,* 2*
ounces*per*day)* cups*per*day)*
Eggs* (2* eggs* per* day,* hard* Spirulina* algae* (3.5* ounces* per*
boiled,*omelet*or*scrambled)* day)*
Nuts* (pumpkin* seeds,* 2* cups* Fenugreek*seed*(2*cups*per*day,*
per*day)* cooked)
*
If*you*have*high*cholesterol*or*other*cardiovascular*problems,*you*may*need*to*be*
careful*about*increasing*your*lysine*consumption*too*much.*Lysine*can*also*increase*
your*bodys*ability*to*absorb*calcium,*so*avoid*very*high*doses.*
Vitamin" C* is* another* essential* part* of* the* first* step* in* the* HSV* Eraser* protocol.*
Foods* that* are* rich* in* vitamin* C* can* help* to* boost* the* immune* system* in* general,*
while* also* reducing* the* recurrence* of* severe* herpes* outbreaks.* Not* only* does*
vitamin* C* boost* the* immune* system* in* general,* but* it* also* helps* to* promote*
cardiovascular*health*and*can*even*reduce*your*risk*for*heart*attack*and*stroke.*In*
terms* of* immunity,* vitamin* C* acts* as* an* antioxidant* that* helps* to* keep* the* bones,*
blood* vessels,* and* muscles* healthy* and* strong.* In* the* digestive* system,* vitamin* C*
helps*to*boost*collagen*production*which*helps*to*hold*the*tissues*together.***
Some*natural*food*sources*for*vitamin*C*include*the*following:*
Strawberries* (one* cup,* sliced,* Bell* peppers* (1/2* cup* per* day*
per*day)* sliced,* fresh,* can* be* added* to* a*
Blueberries*(3*cups*per*day)* salad)*
Raspberries*(2*cups*per*day)* Broccoli* (3/4* cup* per* day,*
Cranberries*(3*cups*per*day)* chopped,*cooked)*
Kiwi* (1* fruit* per* day,* about* 2* Citrus*fruits*(1*medium*orange,*
inches*long)* fresh,*per*day)*

*
*
Papaya* (1/2* medium* fruit,* Brussels*sprouts*(1*cup*per*day,*
fresh,*per*day)* cooked)*
Garlic*(6*ounces*per*day,*fresh)* Cauliflower* (1* and* * cups* per*
Spinach* (4* cups* per* day,* day,*cooked)*
cooked)* Turnip* greens* (2* cups* per* day,*
Pineapple* (1* cup* per* day,* cooked)*
chunks,*fresh)* Tomatoes*(3*cups*per*day,*raw,*
Cabbage*(1*and**cups*per*day,* sliced)*
red*cabbage,*cooked)* Winter* squash* (4* cups* per* day,*
Mango* (1* and* * cups* per* day,* cubed,*cooked)*
sliced,*fresh)*
*
Another* supplement* which* can* be* beneficial* in* boosting* your* immune* system* is*
propolis* * a* resin* manufactured* by* bees.* Propolis* is* loaded* with* flavonoids* and*
antioxidants* which* boost* the* bodys* natural* ability* to* fight* harmful* bacteria* and*
viruses.*Numerous*studies*have*shown*that*this*resin*can*help*to*reduce*outbreaks*
of* both* HSV/1* and* HSV/2.* In* fact,* these* same* studies* have* shown* that* propolis*
works*faster*and*better*than*prescription*antiviral*medications**this*resin*may*also*
help*to*reduce*the*pain*associated*with*herpes*sores.*
Though* lysine* and* vitamin* C* are* extremely* beneficial* for* the* immune* system,* it* is*
also* important* that* you* follow* a* balanced* diet* including* carbohydrates,* proteins,*
and*fats.**
Below*you*will*find*an*overview*of*how*these*nutrients*support*the*immune*system:*
*
Carbohydrates**These*play*a*vital*role*in*our*immune*systems*proper*
functioning.*A"deficiency*of*this*nutrient*may*lead*to*impaired*functioning*of*
such*system.*It*can*be*found*in*whole*grains,*oats,*barley,*flour,*sugar,*and*
corn.*For*people*with*herpes,*it*is*best*to*avoid*refined*carbohydrates*such*as*
white*sugar*and*white*rice,*as*it*may*contain*high*ratios*of*arginine.*
*
Proteins**These*can*be*found*in*meat,*fish,*and*poultry*products.*These*
foods*are*high*in"lysine*which*promotes*the*production*of*enzyme*known*as*
arginase.*Arginase*breaks*down*arginine*and*counteracts*its*effects*on*the*
herpes*virus.*Although*these*foods*can*help*fight*herpes,*it*is*essential*to*
44"
*
*
choose*only*lean*cuts*of*poultry*and*meat*to*avoid*other*health*problems.***
*
Fats**These*include*essential*fatty*acids*and*Omega*3*oils*that*are*extremely"
beneficial*to*our*health.*These*are*considered*good*fats*which*are*critical*in*
maintaining*the*nervous*system*in*good*shape.*Avoid*foods*that*contain*
hydrogenated*oils,*as*they*have*trans/fats*that*are*toxic*and*damaging*to*the*
body.*Also,*stay*away*from*high/fat*and*processed*foods.*
*
A*strong*immune*system*is*the*foundation*to*keep*herpes*outbreaks*in*check.*Eating*
a* healthy,* balanced* diet* including* drinking* plenty* of* water* will* help* you* fight*
herpes*naturally*and*efficiently.**
Furthermore,*getting*adequate*sleep,*reducing*stress,*and*engaging*in*regular*
exercise*is*important*as*well.**
*
Stress**As*you*may*already*know,*stress*is*a*key*factor*in*triggering*herpes*
outbreaks,*so*it*is*something*you*want*to*avoid*if*you*want*to*cure*your*
herpes.*It*is*impossible*to*remove*stress*from*your*life*completely,*but*there*
are*some*simple*things*you*can*do*to*manage*it.*Try%starting%your%day%with%
15%minutes%of%silent%meditation%and%dont%forget%to%make%time%for%yourself%
throughout%the%day.*Things*like*yoga,*Tai*Chi,*and*mindfulness*exercises*
have*also*been*shown*to*reduce*stress.**
*
Exercise**Keeping*your*body*fit*is*an*important*aspect*of*total*body*health*
and* wellness.* Just* keep* in* mind* that* mild* to* moderate* exercise* is* the* best*
when* it* comes* to* herpes* * if* you* exercise* too* vigorously* it* could* induce* a*
stress*response*in*your*body*which*could*trigger*an*outbreak.**
What"NOT"To"Eat"
*
In*addition*to*increasing*your*consumption*of*lysine,*Vitamin*C,*and*other*healthy*
nutrients,* there* are* certain* foods* you* should* avoid* while* implementing* the* HSV*
Eraser* protocol.* The* three* main* things* you* want* to* avoid* are* sugar,* processed*
45"
*
*
foods,* and* alcoholic" beverages.* You* should* also* keep* an* eye* on* your* intake* of*
sulfites,*arginine,*and*antibiotics.**
Sugar**Sugar*has*been*shown*to*reduce*the*bodys*immune*response*and*it*
can* also* interfere* with* the* bodys* ability* to* utilize* vitamin* C* in* fighting*
infections.* Additionally,* sugar* can* impede* the* absorption* of* B* vitamins,*
which*are*essential*nutrients*in*helping*the*body*to*manage*stress.**
Processed" Foods* * Not* only* are* processed* foods* loaded* with* artificial*
ingredients,*but*they*are*low*in*nutritional*value*as*well.*Processed*foods*like*
canned* meat,* bottled* drinks,* pre/packaged* convenience* foods,* and* snacks*
often* contain* artificial* sweeteners,* preservatives,* colors,* flavors,* and* dyes*
which*contain*sulfites.*Sulfites*contain*sulfur*dioxide*which*is*what*helps*to*
prevent* spoilage* and* increase* shelf* life.* Though* sulfites* occur* naturally* in*
some*foods,*they*are*added*to*many*processed*foods*like*baked*goods,*soups,*
chips,*bottled*beverages,*and*condiments*to*delay*spoiling.*
Sulfites* In* addition* to* being* found* in* food,* sulfites* can* also* be* found* in*
some*medications.*Sulfites*help*to*keep*the*drug*stable*thanks*to*their*natural*
antioxidant*properties*and*they*also*help*to*keep*injectable*medications*from*
turning* brown* or* losing* their* effectiveness.* Many* inhaler* medications* also*
contain* sulfites.* Unfortunately,* allergies* to* sulfites* are* fairly* common* and*
they*can*also*have*a*negative*impact*on*the*immune*system*and*the*digestive*
system.* Though* sulfites* can* act* as* a* preservative* or* enhancer* in* food* and*
medication,*they*can*also*cause*skin*irritation*and*rashes,*as*well*as*breathing*
problems,*even*anaphylactic*shock.*
ArginineRRich" Foods* * Foods* like* peanuts,* almonds,* gelatin,* refined* grains,*

and* chocolate* contain* an* amino* acid* called* arginine.* Like* lysine,* arginine* is*
an*essential*amino*acid,*but*you*need*to*be*wary*of*consuming*too*much*or*it*
could* trigger* a* herpes* outbreak.* The* human* body* produces* arginine*
46"
*
*
naturally,* so* you* should* avoid* eating* too* much* of* it* in* the* form* of* refined*
grains*and*the*other*foods*listed*above.*
Antibiotics* * Many* doctors* overprescribe* antibiotics* for* minor* illnesses.*

While*these*medications*might*help*to*kill*the*pathogenic*bacteria,*they*also*
kill*off*the*good*bacterium*which*helps*to*support*healthy*digestion*in*your*
intestines.*About*80%*of*the*immune*system*is*located*in*the*digestive*tract,*
so*maintaining*good*digestive*health*is*incredibly*important*for*boosting*the*
immune* system* and* erasing* herpes.* It* is* also* important* to* remember* that*
herpes*is*a*virus,*not*a*bacterium,*so*antibiotics*will*NOT*help!*Also,*the*more*
antibiotics* you* take,* the* more* the* bacteria* will* become* resistant* to* them* so*
they*wont*work.*
Alcohol**Not*only*can*consuming*alcohol*weaken*the*immune*system,*but*it*
can* also* trigger* a* herpes* outbreak.* Excessive* alcohol* consumption* has* been*
linked*to*gut*damage*as*well*as*an*increased*risk*for*certain*types*of*cancer.*
Many*people*who*abuse*alcohol*also*suffer*from*frequent*heartburn.*It*is*also*
important* to* note* that* alcohol* is* nothing* but* empty* calories* * it* does* not*
provide* the* body* with* any* kind* of* nutrition.* In* fact,* people* who* consume*
excessive*amounts*of*alcohol*often*lose*interest*in*food*and*eventually*suffer*
from* malnutrition.* Balanced* nutrition* is* very* important* for* boosting*
immunity*and*fighting*herpes,*so*that*is*another*reason*to*avoid*alcohol.*

A"Healthy"Daily"Routine%
*
By* making* healthy* changes* to* your* daily* routine* you* can* further* boost* your*
immunity* and* improve* your* bodys* ability* to* fight* back* against* herpes.* The* three*
key*elements*you*need*to*include*in*your*healthy*daily*routine*are*olive*leaf*extract,*
plenty*of*water,*and*healthy*supplements.*
Take"500mg"Olive"Leaf"Extract"Capsules"
Olive*leaf*extract*is*known*to*provide*a*wide*array*of*health*benefits*but*it*has*one*
more*effective*use*/*recent*studies*show*that*olive*leaf*can*fight*the*herpes*virus.*It*
not* only* helps* prevent* outbreaks,* it* can* also* prevent* the* virus* from* spreading,* by*
killing* it* on* the* spot* with* its* natural* antiviral* properties.* For* the* best* benefit,* take*
two* 500mg* capsules* 3* to* 4* times* daily* with* meals.* Once* you* succeed* in* reducing*
your* herpes* infection,* you* can* lower* it* to* two* 500mg* capsules* twice* a* day* with*
meals.*
Drink"Purified"Water"to"Eliminate"Toxins"
If*you*think*back*to*earlier*in*this*eBook,*you*will*remember*that*dehydration*can*be*
a* trigger* for* herpes.* So,* drinking* plenty* of* water* will* help* to* prevent* herpes*
outbreaks.* Drinking* a* lot* of* water* also* has* the* added* benefit* of* helping* to* flush*
60"
*
*
toxins* out* of* your* body,* enabling* it* to* achieve* healthy* and* natural* functions.* The*
best*is*to*just*drink*purified*water**dont*overload*yourself*on*tea,*coffee,*and*sodas*
because*these*drinks*may*contain*sugar*or*unnatural*ingredients*which*can*impede*
the*detoxification*process.*Drink*at*least*8*glasses*of*purified*water*per*day*for*the*
best*results.*
Not*only*does*water*help*to*flush*toxins*from*the*body,*but*it*also*aids*in*nutrient*
transport.*Water*is*a*natural*lubricant*which*helps*to*soften*your*stools*and*prevents*

benefit*from*your*water,*drink*distilled*water*because*it*has*been*purified*to*remove*
up*to*99%*of*chemical*toxins*and*other*harmful*substances.**
Take"Daily"Supplements"and"Herbal"Extracts"

boost*serum*levels*in*the*body*which*can*help*to*improve*your*immune*response,*as*
can* vitamin* C.* In* addition* to* these* supplements* you* might* want* to* consider* some*
herbal*extracts*like*Echinacea*and*prunella*vulgaris.*Echinacea*is*a*natural*remedy*

Implementing%the%HSV%Eraser%Protocol%%
*
The*two*main*types*of*herpes,*HSV/1*and*HSV/2,*have*their*similarities,*but*they*are*
biologically*and*antigenically*different.*In*some*cases,*the*herpes*simplex*virus*can*
cause* very* severe* infections* which* can* have* a* big* impact* on* the* immune* and*
nervous* systems,* even* leading* to* diseases* like* encephalitis* and* meningitis.*
Newborns*that*are*exposed*to*the*virus*can*develop*multi/organ*failure*and*people*
with* compromised* immune* systems* can* develop* severe* pneumonia* and* other*
infections.*Despite*decades*of*study,*there*is*still*no*vaccine*for*HSV.*
Fortunately,* the* human* body* has* developed* its* own* line* of* defense* against* the*
herpes* simplex* virus* in* the* form* of* antibodies.* Antibodies* are* proteins* that* the*
immune* system* produces* in* response* to* pathogenic* foreign* substances* like* HSV.*
Once* a* person* becomes* infected* with* HSV,* the* body* will* continue* to* produce*
antibodies*against*the*virus.*This*is*why*an*antibody*test*can*sometimes*be*used*to*
diagnose*herpes*in*infected*individuals.*
The*good*news*is*that*the*body*is*able*to*fight*back*against*herpes*to*some*degree*
on* its* own.* The* bad* news* is* that* many* modern* herpes* medications* impair* the*
bodys*natural*ability*to*fight*back.*In*many*cases,*antiviral*herpes*medications*end*
up* doing* further* damage* to* the* body* in* the* form* of* side* effects* and* they* can*
contribute* to* the* development* of* other* dangerous* conditions.* Eventually* the* body*
becomes*so*bogged*down*in*fighting*against*the*effects*of*the*medication*that*it*can*
no* longer* fight* back* against* the* virus.* The* key* to* naturally* treating* your* herpes,*
then,*is*to*boost*the*immune*system*so*it*can*get*rid*of*the*virus*for*good.*
